Talk of Bayern Munich wanting Karius as backup. Probably agent fire lighting. 

 

Karius: "I still have a contract with Liverpool until 2022. But of course I can imagine staying in Berlin if everything fits.

 

“I’m not just passing through here. The mentality of the people and the spirit of the team are good for me.

 

“I’m basically a down-to-earth guy. Even though I drive an expensive car.”

 

He didnt actually say that final line, did he?

It's a quote from an interview with Bild in Germany, whether he actually said those words? Who knows, but he seems to like leaving interviews with a final whammy. There is more... 

 

Asked about his relationship with Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, he said: “It was always fair and honest. He always tells you what the situation is like.

 

"We always had a good relationship and never had a problem. His successes speak for themselves.

 

“He is currently one of the best coaches of the world.

 

“He said it (the move to Union) is a good step, that I have the chance to distinguish myself here and he told me that I can show everyone that I’m a really good goalkeeper.”

Wow. I thought it was a parody. Goalkeepers really are a special breed. This guy gives Narcissus a run for his money.

According to transfermarkt stats, he's made 4 appearances for them this season, all of them in the last 6 weeks.

Yeah, he's back up to Andreas Luthe. Someone who was Augsburg's back up keeper for the previous four seasons. I think they must rate Karius very highly.

[Josef Svejk]

An expensive car. But an ugly one.

Stealing a living.

[Guest Alex_K]

Yeah Karius well up there in the egregiously-revolting footballer stakes. The way he conducts himself, his 'brand' and his language relative to his complete lack of talents is something to behold.

[3 Stacks]

His only crime is being shit at football. His "brand" is the same as any other footballer, with the added factor that he's good looking so he does some modelling stuff. The assassination of his character after his nightmare in the Champions League final has been a bit tasteless. There's nothing particularly annoying or grating about the guy, personally. 

[Jairzinho]

His holiday pictures a few days after losing us a European Cup final were a bit tasteless. 

 

He's either thick as shit or didn't give a fuck. 

[johnsusername]

My favourite Karius moment was in the Champions League final when he rolled the ball to Benzema. Just to give Madrid a helping hand.

Driving a garish bright yellow Porsche while writing "I'm a down to earth guy who just happens to have an expensive car" sitting in yet another poor reserve team, posting stylised IG videos of himself celebrating his summer in an LA mansion with more tacky cars barely 6 weeks after costing his colleagues and fans the greatest trophy in football & proceeding to be a highly media-vocal mediocrity as he shifts ceaselessly from loan deal to loan deal & country to country in what should be the formative years of his career.

 

Yeah .. Xabi Alonso, Juan Mata, David Silva, Marcus Rashford or Zvonimir Boban with his libraries of Russian literature Mr Karius is not. There are tacky footballers and there are graceful footballers, as in any walk of life.

Yes, he's using it like Marcus Rashford. 

[Strontium]

Rashford and Karius both feed the hungry, the difference is Karius feeds opposition strikers who are hungry for goals.

Wow, that's relevant. 

[Strontium]

The only way Bayern would need Karius as backup for anything is if the guy in the bear suit needs an understudy.

Wow, your post about social media was great. His use of it is definitely the same as everyone else's.

Sorry, was just unaware that the standard for footballers using social media was the guy who got the knighthood for his charitable work.

Footballers don’t love their clubs as much as the fans do, who gives a fuck if he enjoys himself on holiday? I doubt Kloppo told him to sit in solace the entire summer and reflect on his mistakes. He’s shit and he’s where he should be now.

I think you miss the point here - if someone, anyone, promotes a “brand” as you call it, then why should it only elicit a positive response? He’s putting stuff out there in an attempt to build his image, and from a lot of responses, it obviously isn’t working. People are entitled to have an opinion on anything, so to criticise a negative response, but encourage the rest, is a bit strange.

 

Karius, among others, seeks this PR, so has to accept both sides of the coin. There is a thread on the gf slating people for doing this very thing on LinkedIn. Why should Karius be judged differently to everyone else?

Exactly. If reports are correct that Bayern are looking at him for back up, good for him. Hope it works out and he can discover himself.

 

I was as angry as anyone when he had his meltdown. Same with alli when he fucked up with those 2 errors against city. But just continually holding a grudge about it just doesnt work for me.
